The boys are back and better than ever in a brand new show. The show begins with breaking news of a new contract extension for General Manager Ted Thompson, with speculation that an extension for Mike McCarthy is not to behind. Following that are a couple news tidbits about players coming off the injury lists, and an organization role for recently retired running back Johnathan Franklin.

After the news segment, the boys go behind the bench discussing whether the idea of Micah Hyde being the starting safety over first-round pick Ha Ha Clinton-Dix bothers them, before they check in on the tight end position battle in practice.

The summer conversation series continues this week with a discussion of the guys' favorite pre-Ron Wolf era player, before Ryan discusses some of the starters on special teams in the show's signature segment You're Gonna Want To Cut That.
